We are a small, but active and very enthusiastic astronomical society based in the North East. We hold regular monthly meetings with first class speakers, organise observing events, and participate in outreach with multiple schools and youth groups. We are a charitable not for profit organisation, all our members' time is given voluntarily. Reg. Charity no. 1172061
